Isaïe 34:17 Commentaire : Rashi & Ibn Ezra

וְהֽוּא־הִפִּ֤יל לָהֶן֙ גּוֹרָ֔ל וְיָד֛וֹ חִלְּקַ֥תָּה לָהֶ֖ם בַּקָּ֑ו עַד־עוֹלָם֙ יִֽירָשׁ֔וּהָ לְד֥וֹר וָד֖וֹר יִשְׁכְּנוּ־בָֽהּ׃ (ס)

Lui-même a jeté le sort pour elles, et sa main leur a mesuré une part au cordeau: elles en conserveront éternellement la possession et y séjourneront de génération en génération.

Rashi on Isaiah

And He cast...for them Now the prophet says concerning the Holy One, blessed be He, “And He cast lots for them,” for all those beasts and fowl, that these shall fall to their share.

Ibn Ezra on Isaiah

חלקתה Hath divided it. Both subject and object are feminine.

Ibn Ezra on Isaiah

בקו By line. With the line of truth.30This remark of I. E. is probably based upon the occurrence of the definite article in בַּקָּו, lit., by the line.
